ORIGIN

This 2001 BMW M5 shows 93k miles and was purchased by the seller’s father in 2002. The car is finished in Carbon Black Metallic over a Black leather interior and is powered by a 4.9-liter S62 double-VANOS V8 mated to a 6-speed manual gearbox. The most recent service included installing new tires, replacing the rear driver’s side window regulator, and installing a rear light module. The seller has added 40k miles during his five years of ownership and this E39 is now being offered with service records back to 2002, a Carfax report, and a clean California title in the seller’s name.

The Carfax shows an accident in 2003. According to the seller, the rear bumper was damaged in a parking lot at low speed and subsequently repainted. Exterior flaws include a blemish on the roof and some scuffs on the front bumper pictured in the gallery below.

The factory 18″ twin-spoke style-65 wheels wear Michelin Pilot Sport tires all around. Slight curbing is noted on all four wheels with close-ups viewable in the gallery below. The seller reports a persistent undiagnosed noise from the front suspension.

The Black Nappa leather interior (M1SW) features an Alcantara headliner, power heated front seats with memory and lumbar support, silver trim, and a three-spoke M steering wheel. The factory navigation unit remains in place and is linked to a CD-changer in the trunk. Gray-faced gauges include a 180 mph speedometer and the digital odometer shows 93k miles.

The 4,941cc all-aluminum S62 features variable valve timing on both intake and exhaust camshafts. The engine delivered 394 hp and 369 lb-ft of torque when new.

The Carfax shows an accident in 2003 and four previous owners, though the seller notes he is the third owner.
